Argillon LLC was recently awarded a contract for nearly $4 million to provide its SINOx® SCR plate-type catalyst to the Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (B&W PGG), located in Barberton, Ohio. The catalyst will be for a B&W PGG selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to be installed at the John W. Turk, Jr. Power Plant, a new baseload power plant that will be built in Hempstead County, Arkansas

The new plant, which is owned by American Electric Power’s Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) subsidiary, will fire Powder River Basin (PRB) coal in a 600 MW net pulverized coal-fired spiral wound universal pressure boiler. The SCR system will have two reactors with two layers each for initial catalyst loading. The SCR system is designed to operate year round and has no bypass.

Argillon designs and manufactures SCR catalyst and systems used in power plants, power generation engines, gas turbines, industrial manufacturing facilities, marine propulsion engines, and automotive applications. The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems and catalyst manufactured by Argillon reduce emissions to help meet or exceed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements. Argillon is the only manufacturer in the world to produce both honeycomb and plate-type catalysts for SCRs. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the most effective system for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. Argillon has SCR catalyst installed in over 1,000 applications around the world.

GE today released a new analysis of global power plants, which found that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the world's fleet of coal and gas plants can be reduced by 10 percent -- the equivalent of removing 95 percent of cars off U.S. roads -- when existing hardware and software solutions are fully applied. The analysis is the first to quantify the emission reductions of using existing technologies to upgrade the global fleet of coal and gas-based power plants.
